29 vinyl pressings of Filth Hounds Of Hades are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1982 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in UK, Japan, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Kamaflage Records KAM LP1, released March 1982.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KAM LP1, VIP-6839, L-37795, LAT 1146) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, KAM LP - 1 - A1 A TIMTOM-cbs and KAM LP - 1 - B1 A TY-CBS. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
